Massacre Parade in Berlin

The 3th of April was the day when all of the world had seen the photos, videos and witnesses of the massacre by russian murderers in Bucha. My social networks accounts were full of “sensitive content” that day, the hashtags #bucha and #buchamassacre blocked by platforms because of extreme violence imprinted in these pictures: tortured people with hands tied behind their back, bodies of citizens lying down on the streets, some of them were killed while riding a bicycle, some with proviant they were carrying home. Raped women and children. Shot animals.

L&#8217;abolitionnisme aujourd&#8217;hui &#8211; Enjeux contemporains

La notion d’abolition, populaire dans les années 1970, suscite un regain d’intérêt.

User Privacy vs. Platform Transparency: The Conflicts Are Real and We Need to Talk About Them

This post is about what I consider one of the hardest questions, particularly under laws that create special data-access regimes for researchers. What data are platforms supposed to share, and what personal information will it disclose about Internet users? This question pits privacy goals against data-access and research goals. A strongly pro-privacy answer will curtail research into questions of great public importance. A strongly pro-research answer will limit users’ privacy rights. In between lie a lot of difficult calls and complex trade-offs.

Rätsel um den Kakaobaum

Auf den ersten Blick erscheint es darum verwunderlich, dass die Biologie nur wenig über die Bestäubung des Kakaobaums weiß – dabei ist ja genau dieser Prozess die Grundlage für den Fruchtansatz und letzten Endes für den Ertrag.
